For a buttery flavor, melt a small amount of butter and drizzle it over the popcorn after popping. Experiment with different seasonings! Try adding garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, or even nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. Microwave wattage varies, so adjust cooking time accordingly. Start with 2 1/2 minutes and increase as needed, listening for the popping to slow. Ensure the brown paper bag is plain and free of any inks or adhesives.
